Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2024
176. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport the current plans to upgrade the 233 bus route to provide an improved public transport service to the villages of Killumney, Aherla, Cloughduv, Kilmurry and Crookstown (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10345/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
